So long, Network Battle Lab.

The Army currently operates a Network Battle Lab and plans to change it to the Cyber Battle Lab beginning in October 2015 -- and is looking for some contractor support.

What’s the difference?

The Network Battle Lab was focused only on experimentation to support the network, but will now add experimentation to support all areas of "cyber electromagnetic" activities. These include cyberspace operations, electronic warfare and spectrum management operations, the Army said.

I think cyber is also one of those buzzwords, which attracts support on the Hill and money.
